'I am a follower of Ambedkar's ideology'

CHENNAI: BJP president Nitin Gadkari drew a small, but enthusiastic,
crowd of around 300 when he addressed workers of the Integral Coach
Factory at Ayanavaram.


When the announcer invited people to honour the BJP president, nearly
a fourth of the gathering lunged for the stage with shawls and towels
making the entire stage to shake. Garlanding the statue of Ambedkar,
which was unveiled in 1984 by BJP patriarch Atal Behari Vajpayee, he
said, "I am a follower of Ambedkar's ideology." He urged the gathering
take a vow to work against forces like untouchability and
discrimination to usher in equality and social justice as a mark of
respect to the legal luminary.

Office bearers of the Bharatiya Railway Mazdoor Sangh (BRMS), which
organised the function, seized the opportunity to putforth a set of
demands which included the construction of a new residential quarters,
implementation of safety norms and provision of better medical
facilities. The BRMS also asked Gadkari to push the government to fill
close to 2000 vacancies at the ICF.
